A Case of Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm in the Left Atrioventricular Groove after Mitral Valve Replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Left ventricle-coronary sinus fistula and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm are unusual and frightening complications after mitral valve replacement. A 27-year-old female patient underwent mitral valve replacement 5 years previously and trans-thoracic echocardiography showed an outpouching lesion at the atrioventricular groove. It was difficult to differentiate whether the lesion was a left ventricle-coronary sinus fistula or a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm by two-dimensional echocardiography. Cardiac computed tomography confirmed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm compressing the coronary sinus.

Late Presentation of an Unruptured and Calcified Pseudoaneurysm of The Atrioventricular Groove.
A 68-year-old woman who had undergone mitral valve replacement 7 years ago developed severe aortic stenosis. Coronal contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (Figure 1) and 3D volume-rendered magnetic resonance imaging (Figure 2) revealed an unruptured and calcified pseudoaneurysm of the atrioventricular groove. The red arrow shows the pseudoaneurysm, and the red star shows fistulae between ...

We present a case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, which is a very rare and fatal complication of cardiac procedures such as mitral valve replacement. A 55-year-old woman presented to the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Hanyang University Seoul Hospital with chest pain. Ten years prior, the patient had undergone double valve replacement due to aortic regurgitation and mi...

We present a case of successful surgical resection of a giant left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm that developed 5 yr after mitral valve replacement (MVR). A 59-yr-old female was admitted with exertional chest pain radiating to left arm and back. 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) revealed significant stenosis on the ostium of the first diagonal branch of the left anterior desce...
متن کاملIntraoperative left ventricular perforation with false aneurysm formation.
Two cases of perforation of the left ventricle during mitral valve replacement are described. In the first case there was perforation at the site of papillary muscle excision and this was recognized and successfully treated. However, a true ventricular aneurysm developed at the repair site. One month after operation rupture of the left ventricle occurred at a second and separate site on the pos...
